To the Voters of Real County:

I am excited to announce my candidacy for the Republican Nomination for Real County Treasurer. With the upcoming retirement of Real County Treasurer, Kathy Brooks, I have decided to run for this very important public office to serve the citizens of the county.

Four generations of my family have made Real County their home and I have been privileged to attend school, live and work here all my life.

After graduating from Leakey High School, I received an Associate in Applied Science Degree from Southwest Texas Junior College.  After college, I began my career working in the bookkeeping department of the Bank of Frio Canyon here in Leakey. Through the years, I worked in various departments of the Bank including paying and receiving teller, new accounts and loan department.  In 1986, I was promoted to Cashier.  As Cashier I supervised the bookkeeping department, teller department, new accounts department and safe deposit operations.  I was also responsible for the loan operations and the payroll and quarterly/annual reports.  In January 2007, I joined Community Health Development as Business Office Manager and oversaw the operations of Rolling Hills Health in Leakey and Canyon Health Center in Camp Wood.  I am currently employed with Pathways Youth and Family Services as an Accounting Associate in the Administrative Office located in Leakey.

Through the years, I have had the pleasure of volunteering with several community organizations.  I served as Treasurer of the Real County Junior Horse Club and Secretary/Treasurer of the Leakey PTO.  I am currently on the Frio Canyon EMS Board of Directors and serve as Secretary of the Board.  I also am a member the FCEMS Grant and Fundraising Committees.  I serve on the American Cancer Society Relay for Life Committee, which I have done since our first Relay in 2003.  I am a member of First Baptist Church and serve as the Treasurer for the Church and Day Care Center.

I believe the experience and skills I have acquired through my work and volunteer services the past 30 years have prepared me to seek this position as the chief custodian of the county’s finances.  I look forward to the opportunity to visit with the voters of Real County and I ask for your support and vote as I seek the Republican Nomination for the office of Real County Treasurer.

Sincerely,

Vicky Cantrell
